Investigation of ferroelectric nanopowders by EPR method

Abstract: BaTiO 3 nanopowders with different particle sizes have been studied by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance method over a temperature range covering the ferroelectric-paraelectric transition. Iron and manganese impurities were used as probes for these experiments. The evolution of the spectra over the transition was observed through 1) the change in symmetry of Fe 3+ from tetragonal to cubic and 2) the appearance beyond T C of Mn 2+ characteristic lines. The results were analyzed according to a theoretical model pr… Show more

“…(A.1) we omitted the gradients of polarization and magnetization, keeping in mind that we are going to consider the region in the vicinity of the surface where the influence of surface is strong. This region corresponds to the shell of the core-shell model proposed earlier [27]. In this model shell and core are two homogeneous regions, shell has close to the surface properties and core has the properties close to the bulk.…”

“…Results for , and are presented in the Table 1. It is seen from the Table 1 that a nonpiezoelectric and nonpiezomagnetic bulk material with m3m, m′3m′, m′3m and m3m′ symmetry becomes piezoelectric and piezomagnetic in the vicinity of surface with different tensors, which depend on the surface symmetry group, the influence of surface on the symmetry and properties being essential on the distances of several tens nm from the surface [26,27,28].…”

“…Specific characterizations such as Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and the broadband dielectric spectroscopy (in the high-frequency range up to the infra-red) will be highlighted. Both techniques are particularly well suited to probe defect structure and interfaces in inhomogeneous materials exhibiting different bulk and grain boundary properties as well as in nanostructured ceramics with components of different dielectric properties [12][13][14]. Finally, illustrations of the core-shell approach to design multiferroic nanocomposites will be presented.…”

“…Operating in a wide temperature range (from cryogenic to high temperatures 2-700 K), EPR allows not only to identify charged defects and estimate their concentration, but also to study the lattice dynamics, the phase transitions: structural and magnetic, the relaxation and ions mobility processes. Valence changes of defects / defect complexes as a function of electronic charge trapping also can be monitored by EPR [12,41,42]. These features of EPR are of particular interest for understanding the defect chemistry crucial in functional materials.…”
